This is good to see if you're the U.S. coaching staff.

What happens when we can't turn an opponent over every play down and actually have to play sound basketball?

Their lack of size really is apparent against Argentina thus far. Having trouble defending that plus on the other end, all their shots are jumpers or attacks to the basket.

anybody know of any site that does live box stats for these games?  thx

Haha my boy Durant said **** it, he ain't passing)

 

[flyerthandelta]

Why isn't AD playing?

Because he's a rookie...that Westbrook block though

 

[hood17]

Against Spain Bron is gonna have to attack like crazy.

Wonder why we can't get Love in there to control the boards. Maybe down the line.

 

[flyerthandelta]

They jacking too many shots

 

[datznasty]

That was like the first moving screen offensive foul I have ever seen in FIBA ball. You could call those every possession easily if you wanted to

Prigioni 

 

[mister916]

There we go

 

[armorrig]

Has team usa been using the uni they are wearing in this game? I never payed much attention in their previous exhibition games, but I thought they've been using that new design.

Game is getting interesting now.

 

[lakersfan1]

Kevin Durant is a ******g beast man...

Why is Kobe guarding Manu? Let Lebron guard him...

 

[bigmike23]

take kobe off manu

 

[duba169]

team USA is lucky they hit all those 3's

lol at lebron even getting calls overseas. at least they called two travels on him.

melo looked really bad today

 

[flyerthandelta]

So whose gonna check him kobe real on def

 

[ThaxbyChamblis]

You tend to get foul calls when you get fouled

 

[datznasty]

I thought it was a good call too, it was just late because it was another one of those, "wait to see if he makes or not" calls so I can see why Argentina would be upset. And their travelling interpretations are completely different from what we have stateside. Euro guys travel every time on the catch trying to get their feet into triple threat and give you a shot fake before they make whatever move, but they don't like how our guys can cover so much ground with 1 and a half steps off a catch no dribble nor do they like picking up the ball for 2 pronounced steps.

 

[shoeking2101]

Yikes :\

 

[armorrig]

I guess they only pulled out the usa retro jersey for this game. Not a big fan of the current design.

 

[xtapolapacetl]

Hopefully this will be a wake-up game for them. Very reminiscent of the 2002-2006 USA teams.

Not impressed with this performance. Lack of rebounding and a grip of missed free throws. Going forward, coach K need to point those issues out. We shall see how we play against Espana.

P.s that Molten Ball is trash feels like a cheap pleather/poly ball.I copped one in Mexico a while ago.

 

[datznasty]

Team is all out of sync

Chris Paul gets a taste of his own medicine to say the least

I was going to comment that the USA players are not used to the molten ball. That thing is very bouncy and just have a different feel compared to spalding. Could be why they are missing a bunch of ft's and jumpshots.

 

[mmg]

I cant wait to see them play spain..... Think they might lose

 

[duba169]

they need to stop with this Dantoni garbage ASAP

jacking up 3 after 3.
